Almost anything involving the space-magic Enterprise D dish between the engine nacels:

Need more power? Modify the main deflector and divert power from shields.

Space anomoly? Bombard it with tachyon particles from the main deflector.

Need to modulate frequency of phaser array because a borg cube adapted to your weapons? Use the main deflector to send a resonance pulse and overwhelm their shields with a flood of positronic particles.

I appreciate the clarification zzz711 :) . I'm with accideath, however. I'm old enough to remember classic photo projectors, but I fail to see the punch line.

Maybe there's a joke about the Air Force failing to distinguish between Up and Down? Or perhaps the leadership of a project involving such complex mechanics as Nuclear Warheads is not expected to be comically inept with a simple projector.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I... Don't get it. But please accept my upvote.

LOL. This meme goes way back, doesn't it? I vaguely remember it from early 2010's.

Edit

Maybe not! KnowYourMeme suggests it stemmed from 2022 tweet by Adam Levine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That was the best they could do? A balloon?

I understand it's a bit deflated, but my god. I reckon the smugglers could've landed at least six figures for a truck sized haul of hard drugs, so surely they could afford a better disguising apparatus than balloons.

Either way good riddance.

I watched it when it aired 13 years ago on Limmy's show (y'know, This Guy and This Guy, lol.

OP's peom/story belongs to the same cinematic universe as Deedee in the kitchen, so I couldn't help but relate them.

That reminds me of the internals of the Apollo Guidance Computer. Not sure though.

At least it isn't Bielefeld, amirite?
